Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for displaying colonography images includes presenting a series of oblique images of the colon at sequential locations along the colon centerline. Each image is generally centered on the centerline, presents a field of view generally perpendicular to the centerline, and is oriented with the bottom of the colon down.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for operating a computer to process colonography image data, including: receiving colonography image data of a patient from a medical imaging device; processing the colonography image data by operating the computer to identify a centerline of the colon; and generating a graphical user interface by operating the computer, wherein the graphical user interface includes: a field of view control; and a rendering of the patient's colon and a colon…
